Experience SAPPHIRE’s renowned Tri-X Cooling Technology with heat dissipated by a trio of large efficient fans to maximize airflow, whilst within, Optimized Composite Heatpipes fine-tuned for the cooling design of the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ AMD Radeon™ RX 9060 XT Graphics Card fluidly and evenly spread out the heat to the entire cooling module. The latest Free Flow cooling design is developed for axial fan systems with a state-of-the-art heatsink fin module for an optimized and maximized airflow path. Smooth air channeling reduces turbulence for elevated heat dissipation for continued consistent performance during heavy thermal loads.



 

Optimized Composite Heatpipes Free Flow AeroCurve Fan Blade Design

The fans are aptly designed to promote boosted longevity and quietness through the Dual-Ball Bearings working in tandem with the newest AeroCurve Fan Blade Design that reduces air friction to increase usable fan RPM range whilst keeping noise levels at a minimum. Easily remove the fans to clean or replace with the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ signature Quick Connect Fan feature with only one screw holding the fans in place.

 

Elegant Construction Meets Personalization

The sleek metallic design etched with an iconic NITRO+ emblem accent on the All Metal Backplate adds an artistic extra layer of rigidity to the card while simultaneously increasing heat dissipation. Rest assured that the FrameDefense structural design of the graphics card provides a solid enclosure for all internal components, lowering damage risk during handling and installation whilst securing fragile components like the GPU, memory and VRMs. Complete the outer aesthetic by customizing the ARGB LED Light Bar with the lighting option that best reflects your style using SAPPHIRE’s TriXX Software. To maximize personalization of the PC and perfectly match the lighting between the graphics card and the motherboard, gamers can use the 3-pin header to externally synchronize RGB LEDs and choose whether the graphics card or the motherboard will control the RBG LED lighting.

Metal Backplate ARGB LED Light Bar L-Shape Support Bracket

To ensure that the graphics card stays in place on the PCIe Slot and to prevent sagging, the included L-Shape Support Bracket upgraded with durable materials and a refreshed design including a rubber tip is the ultimate key to round out the final look of the build. Use the rubber tip of the bracket to help extract the graphics card securely and with ease when removing the graphics card for cleaning and maintenance.

 

PURE Icy-White For Any White-Themed PC

Suitably designed for gamers searching for a beautiful frosty-white GPU, the SAPPHIRE PURE AMD Radeon™ RX 9060 XT graphics card headlines with 32 Compute Units and 2048 stream processors with a Boost Clock of up to 3290 MHz and a Game Clock of up to 2700 MHz. 16GB of high-speed GDDR6 memory is clocked at 20 Gbps with 32MB of AMD Infinity Cache™ technology. 2x HDMI® 2.1 and 1x DisplayPort™ 2.1a ports with DSC outputs are built in to provide up to 3 output ports to support a majority of monitors.

Compact and Performance Packed

With a Dual-X Cooling Technology design suitable for a wide range of builds including compact cases, the SAPPHIRE PURE AMD Radeon™ RX 9060 XT graphics card has Dual-Ball Bearing Fans built with SAPPHIRE’s newest AeroCurve Fan Blade design streamlining air friction, airflow and static pressure for optimum cooling technology. Heat is additionally dissipated through the Free Flow cooling design constructed with an advanced heatsink fin module for minimal turbulence and efficient air channeling, allowing for optimized airflow and additional heat dissipation. A network of Optimized Composite Heat pipes are fine-tuned to deliver heat flow deftly across the entire cooling module. This is compounded by the Integrated Cooling Module which fluidly and uniformly regulates thermals across important components like the GPU, memory modules and VRMs.

AeroCurve Fan Blade Design Optimized Composite Heatpipes Integrated Cooling Module

The GPU of the SAPPHIRE PURE AMD Radeon™ RX 9060 XT graphics card is mounted on to the 10-layer High TG Copper PCB, ensuring high reliability of the PCB during operation to match the rapid speed, high current and power requirements of the GPU and memory. The 9 Phase Digital Power enables precise power control and efficiency for the utmost stability. For the best durability and longevity, Honeywell PTM7950 Thermal Interface Material (TIM) has been selected for its high-grade thermal conductivity for high-performance and demand. For confidence and security, Fuse Protection is built into the circuit of the external PCIe power connector.


PURE Personalization

Choose the personalized colour scheme to best match your build with the integrated ARGB LED SAPPHIRE Logo.
